The Athletic, a U.S. sports media outlet, reported on the 11th (Korea time) that Mohamed Salah's message on SNS is causing a stir. Salah recently raised the issue of the Palestinian national midfielder Suleiman al-Obeid eulogy presented by the UEFA.
The Palestinian Football Association (PFA) said on the 7th that al-Obeid was killed in an Israeli attack in southern Gaza Strip. Al-Obeid's death, dubbed the `Palestinian Pele', is causing considerable repercussions not only for Palestine but also for Arab soccer. UEFA sent a eulogy on social media, saying, `The talent that gave hope to countless children has left in the dark.'
Salah took issue with this. He wrote 'Will you teach me where, how, and why Al Obeid died?' Pointing out that the Palestinian was victimized by Israeli forces. In response, UEFA did not disclose a separate position. The Athletic pointed out that `Sala's remarks could spark controversy over political neutrality.'
Salah has gone beyond Egypt for the most successful career of any Muslim player of all time. He has been the top scorer in the Premier League four times and has also been selected as player of the year twice. He has made achievements that are difficult to list, including the 2017-2018 Africa Player of the Year and the European Champions League's best 11 and FIFA's third player of the year. In addition to his skills, he has actively voiced social issues such as women's human rights issues prevalent in the Islamic world and the damage to Palestinian Gaza Strip and civilians. After Israel's attack on Palestine began in earnest, it also supported the Egyptian Red Cross' relief efforts in Gaza Strip.
